A downloadable Erotic Visual Novel for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android

 

Our Patrons get special bonuses for ACADEMY34

 

What is ACADEMY34?


ACADEMY34
is a heavily story-driven erotic visual novel, the game, which brings whole new meaning to the word "wholesome". 

While the market of similarly explicit games is oversaturated with stories, where the main protagonist is a rather unlikable individual, we took a vastly different approach, carefully crafting the world in which you will be able to get invested into the story and characters, help them overcome their personal problems, craft a healthy relationship built on understanding and trust, and then get invited into their bed, instead of forcing your way in. 

If you think that sounds a bit too vanilla for your liking, you might be pleasantly surprised once you play it.


What's it about?


In ACADEMY34 you are taking on a role of a freshman cadet, who had just enrolled into the prestigious Sentinel Academy, a place, where young people train to become Agents, dedicating their lives to protecting the world from the terror and, basically, just bad things in general. In reality, no matter how pompous this place is trying to appear, it is still a yet another rich school, filled with hundreds of young adults trying to figure out their place in life. The moment you made your first step on the grounds of this Academy, you realized that maybe you are not ready to become an agent just yet. The idea of dedicating your life sounded so heroic, but now there's a strange lingering thought inside your mind — You want to experience that absurd and chaotic student life. You really do. Though, not like it depends on your choice, as misadventures have already begun!


  • Experience the absolute disarray of being a student, find new friends and partners, get intimate and accidentally discover a reason why that one cute girl in particular had a leash, but no pets in sight.
     


  • Get involved into drama, become a personal therapist for an unhinged hacker girl, make her fall in love with you and commit a federal crime in the name of love.
     

  • Discover so many new ways to express affection, including but not limited to: Performing a summoning ritual on the parking lot, opening up a gate to countless alternative realities, solving global warming crisis and many more!


Is there more?

We update our game every month, adding new routes and characters! If you're waiting for some specific character — our Roadmap will help you understand what to expect to appear in-game and when!

not sure if this has been mentioned but during professor zhou route she will say 'what the hell are you thinking about, yun?' even if you chnage her name just thight i should mention incase it was just overlooked.

If there's a better place to submit a bug report, let me know:

Starting up a new game (on mobile this time, not tested on console), cheats disabled, all levels of X-ray immediately work on Reina. The cool filter that showed up to block you from using it on Reina doesn't appear to work anymore.

maybe its cuz theyre phasing out the x-ray mechanic for a nude mechanic, plus even with cheats on the filter works

I don't know if my game's bugged or if it's intentional, but Sitara is gone and I need to do the after-class Sonya quest. If it isn't a bug, that's chill. Some possible contributing factors I can think of are: 

- I'm also in-progress for the Sitara quest.

- Time of day, I guess, although I checked both in the morning and midday.

I really thought that list was gonna be longer.

Anyway, this problem only seems to have started because of the new update.

(+1)

it was fantastic btw, amazing art, and a FANTASTIC storyline so far

(+1)

part 1 finished, now for the eternal wait for part 2, cant wait

also, quick request, doesn't need to be done anytime soon, but could you add a music toggle perhaps? because it wierds me out how SILENT the game is most of the time, and sure i could put music on else where, but it would never truly fit the game, unlike if you did the music

We've been working with multiple musicians to add ost to Academy, but it's no easy task, and we're still far from being done with making all the locations a bit more alive.

(+2)

"is it lupus?" MC, you should know its NEVER lupus, except that one time it WAS lupus

🕵️ Seraphina, Part 1 — FREE Release 🕵️

 Time to learn Seraphina's shameful secrets:
🔹Why such an esteemed doctor is working as an Academy nurse?
🔹What made her quit her previous job?
🔹Who was she working with in her past?
🔹And what do lewd photo shoots have to do with this?!

we dont have the EXACT time of when it was released, but if my math was correct (which is should be) the Seraphina part 1 update (overhaul edition) should be releasing today, later on though assuming they do it around the same time evrytime considering posts havnt updated to 7 days ago yet

ALSO BE SURE TO KEEP AN EYE ON THEIR WEBSITE! THEYLL UPDATE THAT BEFORE THEY UPDATE HERE, https://youngnaughty.net/downloads/  FOLKS!

:}

Oh, well, that's sad. I thought that the whole current plot about analyzing feelings and establishing romantic relationships was something like a prologue or a maximum of the middle of the plot, and then we would have some interactions within the relationship and research the preferences of the characters. It's just that I haven't seen many high-quality games of this type with such potential, and I'm sorry that this potential may not be realized.

(+1)

we ARE getting a reina epilogue, and knowing the devs, epilogue might mean entire whole ass new story line, and not just a few lines of dialogue, plus there is always the duo route of ava and reina which may or may not come

3 days till the seraphina route releases for FREE! itd be reallllly funny if for the funny little bonus content you can buy from the Reina shop (such as alternate scenes), you have her dressed as spy tf2, but thats just for later whenever yall want really

Another question is: characters who have a story that is "finished", it is finished to the end, or further development of storylines is planned, or there will simply be additional activities. I haven't completely completed the game yet, I'm just worried about how far you plan the plot of each individual character and the game as a whole. Will everything end with a clarification of the relationship, or will it develop further? Because so far, the characters who should have quite pronounced fetishes are acting quite vanilla and, in theory, it would be necessary to develop them in a plot to reveal them.It's just that if Freya's interactions remain at the point of saying sweet things to each other in a bdsm session, will it be strange? Thanks for the last reply.

assuming youre talking about actually finished routes, like reina, it really depends on how much people like the character i guess, since reina is getting an epilogue im pretty sure, gotta check the road map on that, and others like blaze and andre and duo routes that occur when youve finished both routes

(3 edits)

The fetishes are getting explored in the "Degeneracy" Updates. For example here's what Freja has in her Degeneracy scene:

Freja pegging MC

I should not have clicked on that shit 😭

(+1)

Curiosity killed the cat after all...

i can't progress with the ava route it keeps showing the error screen pls help what do i do

(1 edit)

When does the error pop up? And what version are you on?

every friday when im inside the room and im on version 28.1.3

Can you please try downloading the new free version — 28.1.4 from our site or from itch downloads? I think we fixed that specific Ava bug in the new version.

Hi. Will there be no more content on the Reina at all? It's just that if you're prescribing a character as a potential dominant, then it would be strange to limit yourself to just one dialogue about barking, and not reveal this topic in any way. At least I had high expectations for the type of master/slave roleplay or petplay.

No worries, Reina will get more content and a look revamp!


(+1)

Hi, can't complete the professor Zhou quest because anytime I enter it's always saying "sorry never mind"

And I can't find the other jammer for Reina

Some saves with this bug are corrupted, and sadly the only way is to start the game fresh.

Jammers locations:
1. Parking lot, in the bushes
2. Pool, under the bench
3. Classroom, under one of the tables

but I HAVE started it from beginning

Twice, that's how much I love the game.

Just realese the updates publicly so we can continue.

Love your work but not balanced enough to afford the paid version.

Continue to support you though.

Are you on version 28.1.4 or 28.1.3?

How do I progress the Doctor story? All it says to do is ask her about the assistant but that does nothing. 

next update, itll release for free in bout 6 days, or if you wanna support the devs and get it early, you can check their patreon!

ok thank you, just making sure my game wasnt bugged or i was missing something.

(+2)

After the patch i am stuck on the next step of the meteorology essay. The task says to go ask professor Zhou for help but it keeps being the same.

go again in the class after the class

(Sorry the poor english)

Have the same thing happening. I went back into the class afterwards and it still didn't progress.

(+2)

yeah indeed, he keeps saying he doesnt need any help.

🕵️ Seraphina, Part 1 — $2 Release 🕵️

With last patch i got stuck with the can write meteo essay error and i was able to bypass it by writing can_write_meteorology_essay = Ture in console, but with the new patch i Yun task is to talk to her but nothing happens when i do. Any idea on how i could fix this state? Thanks :)

ALSO SERAPHINA 2 BUCKS RELEASE, AT https://youngnaughty.net/downloads/ this is the devs OFFICIAL website, its linked up above with the other links, and it also means ONE WEEK TILL ITS FREE!

Told you sometimes the release goes live a bit earlier :}

(+1)

yes you did, thought id let everyone else in on it aswell.

(+2)

i gotta say thought devs, you have officially made it big since youre getting people trying to use your game to give others viruses, its like when you get so good at a game you get called a hacker, it aint GOOD, but it means your damn good at what you do.

Cant do the assignment for yun

Hi! We uploaded the new version that should've fixed the issue you were experiencing!

Sorry it took so long :(

(1 edit) (+2)

devs, it me again, just had a little funny idea, and its to have a route where MC finally LOSES HIS SHIT at someone, because while he is basically the definition of wholesome (insert funny sex joke here), i really need a route that shows off some of his flaws more, because while we do get to see them quite the bit, i really want to emphasize them with a route where he constantly battles paranoia and horribly gut feelings on a person he just cant place a finger on WHY he feels like that, because everyone (save for Reina and McCarty)  thinks that this person is great, and surprisingly similar to MC, and that's what causes this paranoia, because for MC its like looking into a twisted reflection of himself, and that causes him to have self doubt and loathing because he looks at this person and sees a reflection of himself, his flaws amplified a million times over, hidden under a mask of MC's face, and it all culminates into MC losing his shit because of countless sleepless nights, (weather that be at the mentioned "bad person" or, more interestingly, someone like McCarty) and the end could go some many different ways i cant possibly list them all, this was all hypotheticals anyways and was dreamt up on coffee, tiredness, and the desire to give you all the itty bitty push you need to create a route FILLED to the BRIM with lovely delicious drama and angst.

Interesting concept, maybe we could do something like that in one of the routes!

thanks, i just really needed a route that absolutely forces MC to confront his flaws that not even WE get to see most of the time, because everyone has deep hidden flaws, its just a game of waiting till they bubble to the surface, and go POP.

I know this is unlikely, but will there ever be an option to change the skin color of the protagonist?

Unfortunately we don't have enough resources to redraw every scene with MC to match his potential alternative skin colors.

(+1)

Whenever I enter the library to apologize to Sitara, I get this popup. Ignore doesn't work, and when I try to do Blaze's route it still leads me to the library with this popup as well.

Hi, we are aware of this issue, but are still trying to work out a fix. We're really sorry and will try to push a patch as soon as possible!

We uploaded the fixed version! And the issue you mentioned should be now fixed!

We're sorry you had to wait almost a whole week for this. Our programmer had a concussion while we were working on fixing all the reported bugs, so we had to delay it for a few days while he was recovering.

I wish them a speedy recovery! I hope everything is going well. :)

I got bored before I finished the intro. 15 mins or so.

you can skip that in the options you first get at the start, its mostly a story based game though

(+2)

We know the game intro is not up to par to all actual content we released. So we plan to remake the introduction to Academy to make sure it won't present the game in a bad outdated light.

is the femboy shit optional ie can you make luca actually a girl or completely ignore his story?

to clarify, if it is only a gay option, if you completely ignore it, will it effect anyone elses paths?

(1 edit) (+1)

cant make luca into a girl, but skipping someones route usually doesnt affect others, only exceptions to this are zahera, who you gotta do serapinas route for, and reina, who you have to do SOME of avas route for, as far as i know, if you dont like it you can just ignore that route or turn on in settings "skip unseen text" and then just right click skip to skip the entire route cept for options

for clarification, the 2nd skip method is so you finish the route while skipping

(+2)

You can skip Luca, and it won't affect any other routes.

(+1)

🕵️ Seraphina, Part 1 — $5 Release 🕵️

Doctor Seraphina has her fair share of secrets:
🔹 What was she working on before joining the Academy staff?
🔹 Why does she sneak out of her room deep at night?
🔹 And most importantly, what do lewd photo shoots have to do with all of this?!

I cant progress Ava.. Everytime i try to wake up on Friday to do the "i could hang out with Ava on Friday" i get an error screen, ignoring dont progress the route further.
Professor mei´s route is also broken, cant progress after the assignment.

This was already reported, and we're already working on fixing it!

Hi! Sorry it took so long, but we managed to fix the issue you mentioned and uploaded the patched free version!

Found a bug in the Ava spycam on android, I get through the first two "donate" and then I get the error page when I click again

Sent this to our programmer!

Thank you!! It seems like such an awesome game I hate that it crashed so early on for me!! I will be happy to keep playing later

(2 edits)

Is there an option to "ignore" the error? Sometimes that lets to continue playing.

I clicked it and the app crashed 

Hi! We know it's been a week, but we uploaded the fixed new version, with this bug patched.

Hope no other bugs will ruin your playthrough!

Thank! I was waiting for the update! I'll download ASAP

(2 edits)

hey, saw a comment on a bug report about the nude system, curious as to how it works, since i never actually saw it thinking i had already seen all the new content.


Update: now i have 100% seen all the new content, can confirm nothing happened, but im very VERY curious on how itll work out, assuming that one cg of sonya where she was reading the book without a bra (i think, i dont remember since it was the first route i did) was apart of this new feature, then itll be neat, but if it isnt, im VERY curious on how itll work, and the inner workings behind it, could i just use notepad++ and look into the code? sure, but i wanna hear it from the devs themselves, and the inspo behind the idea itself

(1 edit)

The two new nudes for Andre and Aurelie are in the Seraphina, Part 1 update! It requires you to finish their routes and you will receive messages from them in the morning on a random day. It's a barebones solution for now, but once we will update the phone ui you will be able to receive them through the messanger app!

(1 edit)

great idea, possibly maybe add in a semi requirement to them, like minor dialogue you get from talking to them will hint at it, and then you get the nude upon progressing time or just goin to bed, that way they wont just be sending you nudes out the blue and itll feel a bit more human, because honestly the only person i feel would just do that would be ava, which could result in funny little bonus dialogue referencing the fact this isnt the 1st time that this has happened, but thats just a silly little thought to flesh out the idea a bit more if your up for it

Don't worry, all the nudes come with short exchange of messages between you and the characters.

For example, Andre is a little shy about sending you the nudes, so she prepares you mentally that she wants to send you "something special".

Aurelie, on the other hand, is a bit more bolder and explains how long it took to set up the light correctly for the best possible nude photo she could come up with.

Even nudes are sort of a tool for sharing more story and personality of characters, since that's what we do best in Academy34.

honestly should of expected that of you guys, you are all such great story tellers that i honestly play for the characters and the stories more than the smut, you turned what were originally someone else's characters which you made horny for a porn game, into compelling characters that apart from design and some names, are COMPLETELY different, and their own unique characters, to the point where my least favorite routes are the ones where there isnt as enticing of a story, rather than which ones have the scenes i dont like.

(1 edit)

(supposed) bugs I'm finding on the current free release:

- Cannot do the olympiad assignment for Mei's route, clicking the option on the computer just exits the dialogue.

- Quest log for Zahera says "that's all for now" and "progress with Doctor Fevez" at the same time (maybe because it's an older save where I already finished Zahera's route before the update?)

- Getting errors whenever I enter the bedroom while on the "hang out after class on Friday" stage of Ava's route, can't seem to progress the route past this (or get the errors to stop showing up while it's Friday...)


- The quest log for Andre continues suggesting hanging out with her over the weekend, even though the option to do so just repeats her original pool scene. Maybe not new with this update, and possibly just an oversight in writing the task entries? 

- Maybe it's just because the sprites don't exist yet, but there's a few characters who don't seem effected by the x-ray mode, namely Jade, Seraphina, and Sonya. (Not to mention all the characters who only ever appear in dialogue or in one-time overworld appearances during events, so you never get the chance to use the X-ray around them; like Aurelie, Ava, Hanako, Luca, Priscilla... but that's unrelated.)

Not the dev, just another player - but when I got that "exception" page, I just clicked Ignore and kept going.  The game continued on with no further errors - for me, anyway.

Hi! Thanks for this feedback!

1. Seems we indeed broke something with Yun, and we are currently looking into it.

2. Could be the case, yes, since we had to change the trigger for Zahera's route it might've clashed with the older save.

3. You could try pressing ignore on that error, sometimes it let's you continue playing, but if the error persists, you can send us your save file and we will try to find the root of the problem.

4. Did you finish any further content with Andre, or did you get stuck on the pool scene for Andre? She's supposed to have a lot more content after the pool scene!

5. A few months ago we decided to swap X-Ray for a different system, and while it's still in development, it made little sense to further spend our resources on adding new X-Rays just to remove them later on. With Seraphina, Part 1 we presented new cool side content with girls sending you nudes, which should be better and opens up more ways for us to keep adding content to characters whose story is already finished. In the coming months we will add even more nudes, and will remove X-Ray system entirelly.

Just wanted to mention we managed to fix issues 1 and 3 with the new version we just uploaded!

Can you transfer save data from Android to windows

(1 edit)

i keep getting this screen when i sleep or talk with an npc, any reason why? 

The same happens to me whenever i do an assignment

We just uploaded a new fixed version of the game! This particular bug is now fixed!

Sorry it took so long... Our programmer had a concussion while doing the bug fixing and that delayed the patch release significantly :c

(+1)

Thank you for your dedication and do not worry tell him to take as much time as it needs to be done, pls be safe and thank you

Does pressing Ignore let you continue playing?

Yes

it does not

(1 edit)

Yeah, i just found out that it does not let me continue the andre route

Had the same issue, and it was caused because i was loading a save already in a scene. Going back to the older version, finishing the scene and making a new save to load on the new version fixed it.

Well damn, that fixed it

Hi! Sorry you had to wait so long, but we finally managed to fix this with the new version we just uploaded!

Hope no other errors will ruin your experience!

I got a question, how do i get professor mei´s route, each time i ask for help she doesn´t say anything

What do the tasks on the phone for her route say?

"Ask for help..." but then whenever y try to talk to her the optiob ask for her help doesn´t appear anywhere just the options like "sit on my face" and such, just the sexual options.

Same

Hi! We managed to fix all the bugs related to Yun's route.

The new version is already available for download, and we hope you will have a smooth playthrough now!

(+1)

Also whenever i try to do the assignment it keeps showing an error

Likewise

(+1)

Hi! We know it's been whopping 11 days since the buggy release we had, but we finally managed to find and fix all the bugs the players reported, including the Yun's Meteorology assignment!

So if you're still up to play, the new fixed version is already available for download!

I can't seem to progress with the story, zahera's route just says i need to progress with dr Fevez, but her route just says i should explore the infirmary and ive exhausted all of her and Jade's dialog options

(1 edit)

Sorry for the obvious question — did you try entering the infirmary the next day after you talked with Seraphina and her assistant?

(+1)

yes, I’ve tried going back multiple times since the initial dialog, nothing changed though

ive also tried creating a new save file and the problem continued, is that the end of jade's route as of now?

For now it's all, but we're still trying to figure out why Zahera's route is not triggering.

(+1)

I went back through and I believe that it was a visual bug because I completed Zahera's route and remember all of it, so I'm pretty sure that the route had already triggered and I just forgot, and the tip was from earlier in the route and somehow got displayed rather than the end route tip that usually tells us to be patient and wait for the next update
